In this blog you’ll find all about the legendary Super Touring Cars of Class 2 or Class II.

SuperTouringCars is a motor racing category defined for national touring car racing in 1993 based on the “2 litre Touring Car Formula”. The cars looked like regular road cars, while expensive changes.

The SuperTouring cars were required to be a minimum of 13.8 ft (4.20 metres) in length, with four doors, effectively requiring a small family saloon car as a minimum. No more than 2000 cc engine capacity or six cylinders. For homologation, initially at least 2500 units of the model used must have been produced.

The car was constructed year 2000 by 888 Engineering Chassis Number V00-005

This is one of five body shells which were constructed by 888 engineering for official Vauxhall Racing Team UK for drivers Muller, Plato and Radermacker for BTCC season 2000. This is the last 888 evolution of Super Touring Cars ever made. The car was never damaged and now is still in mint original condition due to perfect maintenance. Moreover car is carefully guarded.

Very very fast car due to SPIESS Engine Number SP30024 (630km in season2015) which was one of the last step SPIESS engines that were produced for the STW and BTCC cars (only 30 was made). In 2015 car was driven in FIA central European Championship – 10 races 9 wins, 10 poles.

For 1997, with factory support it was entrusted to Vaclav Bervid in the Central European ST championship, finishing second overall with 6 wins, 3 poles and 7 fastest laps.
In 1999 the car was returned to the UK, and raced by Keith Butcher and Derek Hales in the Formula Saloon championship, that was the forerunner to the, now very popular, HSCC Super Touring Car series, that for 2015 will race at Silverstone Classic and as part of the BTCC / TOCA package.
This Nissan, chassis 23, was designed and built by the team at Nissan Motorsport Europe, and was the design that dominated in British Touring Cars, taking the championship outright in 1999.

Front and rear roll bars are adjustable from the driving seat with power steering and twin caliper AP water cooled brakes being other features of this incredible bespoke Super Touring Car, that in 1996 would have cost around £250,000 to build.
